$100 Million Home
June 19, 2011
A Russian investor has reportedly bought a Silicon Valley, Calif., mansion for a record $100 million – and plans to use it as his second home.
In a secret deal, Yuri Milner bought the 30,000-square-foot Los Altos Hills estate for the hefty price tag, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The home took eight years to build (2001-2009), and the architect William Hablinski told the Journal that “there wasn’t a real budget” when it came to the design. The Daily Mail reports that Milner doesn’t even plan to live there full time.
So what do you get for $100 million these days? Um, everything.
The five-bedroom home reportedly features a ballroom, home theater and indoor pool. Also on the French chateau-style estate: a tennis court, outdoor pool and manicured gardens.
The deal was reportedly handled by Sotheby‘s International and Keller Williams Realty.

Hi everyone, the grand opening of In-N-Out Burger is today. They open at 10:30 for those that can’t wait for a mid-morning burger delight.
The burger chain, which has been welcomed some with delight, while protested and disliked by others in San Carlos has opened.
The restaurant is located on the corner of Holly St. and Industrial. I wonder if it will cause a traffic jam.
Enjoy your burger or shake.
